Pure Guar Gum Powder

Product Description

- Guar gum powder is derived from the ground endosperm of the guar plant. - This is a hardy and drought - resistant plant that grows 1-2 meter high with vertical stalks. The seedpods grow in clusters on the vertical stalks. - The pods are about 15 cm long and hold six to nine seeds about 2-3 mm in diameter. Roughly, 14-16% of the seed is the hull, 38-45% represents endosperm, and 40-46% germ. - This annual plant is an ancient one and is presently grown extensively in India for human and animal consumption. - It is also grown in the semi-arid regions. - The growing season is about 20-25 weeks. - It needs little surface water for growing, and the pods must be harvested in the fall, preferably after the first frost and definitely before the next rain. - If not, some of the seeds wither, die, and turn black. - If these colored seeds are not removed, the quality of the gum is very poor.
